This article covers the key things to know before your big day hair and makeup.
Following these recommendations, you will be sure that the make-up will be perfect and will look flawless in the photo, and nothing will happen from the hairstyle after a lot of costume changes.

Skin Preparation

Make eyebrow correction
2-3 days before the shoot it is desirable to put the eyebrows in order. Do not do this the day before, because sometimes redness and small swelling after correction may persist for about a day. Eyebrows do not need to be stained, but it's better to get rid of unnecessary hairs.
You can correct your eyebrows yourself, but it will be better to contact a specialist, preferably checked.

Do not experiment
To avoid allergies, do not use new funds at least a week before the shooting.
I do not recommend using any new tools for a week before the shooting. You can not foresee how the skin will react to an unknown product, especially with respect to waste funds.
If you are planning a march to a cosmetologist - then peeling, cleansing the face, etc. It is better to hold at least a couple of weeks before the shooting. Also for a couple of days before the shooting, it's best to refrain from visiting the solarium and using an autosunburn.
The day before the photo session, use a light scrub (if there are no obvious inflammations on the skin). For the night and morning, apply the usual moisturizing cream.

Hair Preparation

When to wash?
Help your hair the night before or the morning of the day of shooting. If you wash your hair from the evening - then before you go to bed, you must dry your hair. Otherwise, they will dry up with vichas, sometimes they will be flattened, and somewhere, on the contrary, they will crumple, which will complicate the laying process and increase the time required for it. If you have oily scalp and hair quickly get dirty - it is best to wash them on the morning of the day of shooting.

How to wash?
It is better to wash the hair with shampoo twice. Before shooting it is better to abandon balms and masks. The absence of aids will make hair drier and porous, which simplifies laying and increases its durability. If the hair is very hard, then use the balm, but apply it only from the middle of the length and to the tips, without touching the roots!

Do not apply at all:
* masks
* oils
* mousse
* sprays
* any stowage means
* folk remedies

Disregarding these tips, you risk negating the stamina styling.

How to dry?
If you want to create an additional volume, dry your hair, head down.
Come to the shooting with fully dried hair, especially at the roots. The hair must be dry "to a crunch." If it's raining or snowing outside, put a hood, headscarf or hat on your head to get to the studio with dry hair. Moisture is the worst enemy of laying. If you have strong curls and hair, you can pull your hair by yourself with a hair dryer and a brush to just neutralize the "fluffiness". But do not stretch your hair with iron! Hair "remembers" the first thermal effect. If you straighten them with iron, then the curls will hold very badly.

Organization of fees

Calculate the time
The fees in the studio are clearly regulated by time. Filming often goes one after another, and immediately following you will come the following customers. To delay the collection will not work, even if you are willing to sacrifice 5-10 minutes of your filming time in favor of makeup. In order not to be late, consider the traffic jams, the time you spend in search of the studio, dressing up (yourself and the child), including cartoons, etc. If the preparation, for example, is assigned to 11 - it means that in 11 you need to sit in the dressing room, and not drive up to the studio. It is better to arrive in advance than to worry, that the remaining time is not enough to realize the intended image.

Take the assistant
If you come to gatherings with a baby, try to take a husband / mum / girlfriend / sister to help yourself. If someone takes a child at the time of collection, this will greatly speed up and simplify the process. Also, no one will worry that a kid given to himself will touch a hot plate or will breathe a hair spray.

Come without makeup
It is advisable that you do not have any make-up, just the usual moisturizing cream. Make-up removes time, which in the conditions of preparation for a photo shoot is so limited.

Think clothes
Remove the turtleneck without damaging the hair, will not be easy.
Try to put on clothes clothes, which can be easily removed - with a wide mouth, with a zip or buttons. Removing a turtleneck or other clothing with a narrow throat, you risk damaging your hair. If one of the images for shooting is similar clothes, then this image is better left to the end of the photo session.

What to take with you
I recommend taking with you to the shooting neutral shine or lipstick, tk. during the photo session, it may be necessary to correct the make-up of the lips. If, after the shooting, you have planned activities for which you want to be in the familiar image, take with you a make-up remover and your make-up. Photo-make-up has its own characteristics - it is intense and bright, and in life it may look unusual for you


Remember that your training is no less important than the work of a stylist. By following these recommendations, you can be sure that the result will be perfect
